Democracy and Cultural Diversity

Edited by Michael O'Neill and Dennis Austin

Description

This book is a study of how some of the world's leading democratic states have responded to the challenge of territorial or sub-national movements seeking to increase the salience of cultural differences--ethnic, linguistic, and regional identity--on the national agenda. International experts explore the various ways that cultural differences have acquired political significance and how these are managed by democratic states in every region of the world.
